When the sky was just dawning, dozens of court ministers had already gathered outside the gate of Weiyang Palace. They all frowned and were angry. The few who came out were still arguing angrily with the guard commander Lieutenant Chi Nan.

"I heard that His Majesty suddenly fell ill and came to visit, what qualifications do you have to turn away our ministers?" Shang Shufu's questioning was echoed by many of the ministers.

Wei Chi Nan bowed his hand respectfully and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry. We are acting on the orders of the emperor, and I ask for your bearing. ”

"Imperial Order?" Taifu Qing Huang Tang stepped forward and stroked his beard, his eyes widened, "I heard that Your Majesty has been violently ill since yesterday and has been in a coma until now. The Imperial Husband and Concubine Yun secretly sent His Majesty back to the Yishen Temple from the Tai Hospital, and then the door was closed, and no one was allowed to step into the temple door. Whose orders are you on now?! ”

When he said this, the ministers became even more indignant, and they all said that if they could not see the empress today, they would never leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Wei Chi Nan hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Please don't listen to rumors!" His Majesty did fall into a coma yesterday, but he had already woken up. I can't see you now because Your Majesty has not yet recovered and needs to rest more, please understand! Everyone, the villain must tell you on your behalf! ”

Doctor Jin Ziguanglu laughed at Master Lu and said hatefully: "How can this be true! I'm waiting for important ministers of the court, what do I need you to be a minor official of the Yellow Gate to pass on for me?! I command you to open the door right now and let me go in to see Your Majesty!" ”

At this time, some guards had already reported the news of the ministers' strong request to meet His Majesty to the Yishen Temple.

"I don't understand, what's wrong with letting them meet?" Ashina crossed his hands indefinitely. Looking at Li Yunshen, who was biting his lip and pondering, he said: "Just let them take a look and know that their empress is still in a coma, or simply go out and tell them, won't it be solved?" Why are you so secretive? ”

He himself is a master who will not fall for ten thousand years. But when his father Khan or his brother was sick, his ministers would come to visit, and no one ever felt that there was anything to hide.

"The Imperial Husband." Li Yunshen smiled lightly and said, "Those people outside are not here to greet Your Majesty, but to inquire about the truth." His Majesty is still young, and has neither siblings nor children. If the ministers were to know for sure that His Majesty was now in a coma, and that good and bad luck were unpredictable, the traitors would be ready to act and have bad intentions, and the loyal ministers would be panicked and suspicious. That's why it's necessary to 'cover up'. Look before you leap. Moreover, this time this incident is extraordinary. ”

Ashina thought to himself, there is only one emperor in the country, and the emperor's illness is naturally extraordinary. He shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly.

He had also heard Ke Tuyu, who was familiar with the affairs of the Great Zhou, talk to his brother before. The various forces in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty are fighting openly and secretly, and the situation is complicated. Just why Helan Chu obviously holds real power, it has reached the point where everyone knows, but he can't be the emperor himself, but wants to provide a little empress as a puppet, this is no longer something he can understand.

This Helan royal family was also a nomadic people on the grassland more than 200 years ago, and it is estimated that it was similar to their Turkic people at that time, advocating martial arts and the winner is the king. There is not so much deceit and intrigue. As a result, he dominated the Central Plains, locked himself in this deathly large labyrinth, and was assimilated by Confucian culture, which bred many problems. Although I don't know what the mystery behind this is, it shows that Confucianism, which was respected by both my father Khan and my elder brother, is actually not a good thing.

"The Imperial Husband has thought about it." Li Yunshen's smile retracted, and he lowered his voice, "The poison in His Majesty this time is a poison unique to the Turks, if this point is deliberately exaggerated by people with bad intentions, I am afraid that the imperial husband will not escape the fate of being implicated and framed." Once the imperial husband is framed and blamed, it will naturally affect the relationship between the Great Zhou and the Ashina clan. ”

"Nonsense, I'm here to detoxify her, and I didn't hurt her!" Ashina stood up indefinitely. The two countries turned against each other, fought wars, and the like couldn't deter him, but if his innocence was slandered, it would be absolutely unbearable.

"What the royal husband is saying is the truth, and what he is worried about is that 'people's words are terrible'." Li Yunshen put his hands behind his back and took a deep breath, "The fight between the DPRK and China never asks whether it is true or false; To determine what is right and which is wrong, it is entirely based on the word 'profit'. ”

"Hmph, what good can they do to slander me for no reason?" Ashina Wuji not only faintly felt threatened, but also doubted Li Yunshen's words.

Li Yunshen turned his head, his eyes were fixed, and he looked at Ashina Wuji seriously, "Imperial husband, because I am afraid that the forehead wall will have ears and disasters will come out of my mouth, some words have never been said to others, but since the imperial husband entered the palace, he has stayed like a brother and sister, and Li Yunshen is unwilling to have the slightest reservation." After a pause, he continued: "The reason why some people would do this is that the DPRK and China have ministers who are fighting against your country because of the entanglement of various interests, and the people who are in charge of war do not want to find evidence of your country's provocation against our DPRK all the time, so as to obtain the truth of declaring war on your country justifiably; Second, it is Your Majesty's proposition to marry your country, and not long after Your Majesty ascended the throne, his kindness has not been shown, his prestige has not been revealed, and the powerful ministers are in power, and many people hope to attack His Majesty's young ignorance and improper decision-making by slandering the imperial husband, so as to further weaken His Majesty's power.

Li Yunshen let Ashina think quietly for a moment before continuing: "In the current situation, the fate of our waiting is one with the fate of Your Majesty. Your Majesty is safe, and we are safe; Your Majesty encounters an accident, and we are mermaids. ”

Li Yunshen's words made Ashina Wuji soberly realize this problem for the first time - whether he was disdainful of this little empress, resentful, or even wanted to take her head, he couldn't avoid the fact that as long as he lived in this Jian'an Palace all day, his fate would be firmly tied to her. He also began to understand why she took him to the school field and let him stand up in front of the three armies; He also showed that he had no reservations or guardedness against him, hoping to exchange for his cooperation.

Li Yunshen walked over and bowed and said: "Imperial husband, now the emotions of the ministers urgently need to be appeased, and I implore the imperial husband to explain a thing or two in front of the ministers in the next place, so as to appease the emotions of the ministers." ”

"I'm not going, I don't care about the affairs of your Great Zhou royal family." Ashina calmed down indefinitely, but was still a little tired from the information he had just received. For him, he would rather go to the battlefield and fight than deal with these worthless things, "I'm here to watch your little empress, and I promise that she won't die." ”

Li Yunshen straightened up, nodded with a light smile, and walked towards the door. How could he not know that Ashina's indefinite character would not come forward? Just now it was just a matter of etiquette. The imperial husband is such a person who does not seek fame and fortune, and is very affectionate and sexual, which saves him a lot of trouble.

As soon as the palace gate of Weiyang Palace opened, the ministers couldn't wait to cross the threshold, poured into the palace, and strode in the direction of the Yi God Temple.

"Your Excellency, please stay, under the command of Your Majesty, I have something to convey to you." Li Yunshen said loudly, and everyone stopped.

Doctor Jin Ziguanglu Xi Dou Lu Shi stepped forward, revealing a contemptuous look, "Your Royal Highness Concubine Yun, the Yi Shen Temple is just a few steps away, what does Your Majesty have to say, just teach me in person, why bother Her Highness Concubine Yun?" ”

Li Yunshen smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please be calm for a while. Although His Majesty's condition has improved, he has not yet recovered, and now he hears a noisy and deafening voice, and no one can come and go. Your Majesty has asked this palace to come here to tell you that she already knows your loyalty, but it is inconvenient to summon you at this time, and the day after tomorrow she should convene the morning court to meet you. ”

"Your Majesty's 'noisy and deafening voices, and you can't see people coming and going', we can nominate one person as the leader to meet Your Majesty for us." Huang Tang stroked his beard and deliberately said in a loud voice, "In my opinion, I will recommend Lord Xi Doulu to wait for us, and convey our concerns to Your Majesty." ”

"That's a great offer!"

"Lord Xi Doulu, the official rank is our senior, and he will represent us."

"Exactly, exactly!"

The ministers all agreed with Huang Tang's proposal.

"Lord Huang's earnest feelings really touched the palace. But Lord Huang's words may be inappropriate. Since Your Majesty has already issued an edict asking you to leave first, and the holy decree has been achieved, we and the ministers should do what we do, and there is no room for substitution and change? ”

Although Li Yunshen's smile did not change, his righteous words were strict and sonorous, which made people feel that they could not be disobeyed. And what he said was true. If the empress's decree is true and her coma is false, no matter who rashly intrudes at this time, it is a great crime that no one dares to cry out if she loses her head; Although if the facts are contrary and the empress is critically ill and Concubine Yun's false decree is exposed, it is very likely that both the empress and the Li family's forces will suffer heavy losses, but the cost of this kind of gambling is too great, who would be willing to risk their own heads and fight for the interests of the collective?

Seeing that the ministers were all whispering in a whisper, and no one dared to come forward rashly, Li Yunshen finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he can only hope that Zuo Ying can wake up the day after tomorrow. He is like standing on the edge of an abyss, whether he can take this opportunity to get closer to the center of power, or whether he will fall to pieces, it depends on this fight.

"Your Royal Highness Concubine Yun," just when the ministers had the intention of retreating, Xi Dou Lu Shi stepped forward with a sneer and said, "I am not waiting here to visit His Majesty's illness. There is also an urgent matter to tell His Majesty. Since Your Majesty has improved, please let the old minister report to Your Majesty in person. ”
